Hi *,
you guys can continue debating the techincal details of what upstart may
or may not do. But I'm sure the creator is going to have to confront any
issue in code that you are mentioning and I would expect him to have
already planned how he will solved those issues. He already has it set
to be in efty eft or what ever its called. And it is running on that
system, so it means it passes a test to be at least minimally
functional. I'd just wait a while before I start pointing out the
defincies until it hits like version 1.0. I'm sure Linus had some issue
in the beginning, and I'm sure sjr will too.
cheers,

ps. you can go back to your regularly scheduled flamewars...
